Turmeric continues to trend globally as one of the healthiest superfoods.

While the Eastern population has known about turmeric’s benefits and used it for more than one hundred years, both in their food and medicinally, only recently have medical experts begun researching the roots of this magic plant.

What Is Turmeric?

Turmeric is a spice that comes from the turmeric plant, which is native to Southeast Asia and commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. It has a bright yellow color and a slightly bitter taste. Turmeric is also used for medicinal purposes, as it contains a compound called curcumin that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to treat a variety of ailments, from skin conditions to digestive issues.

Is Curcumin the Same as Turmeric?

Curcumin is not the same as turmeric but is a compound found in turmeric. Turmeric is a spice that comes from the turmeric plant, which is native to India and Southeast Asia. It is often used in cooking and has a bright yellow color. Curcumin is a naturally occurring compound found in turmeric, and it is responsible for many of the health benefits associated with the spice. However, the amount of curcumin in turmeric is relatively low, so supplements are often used to increase curcumin intake.

Historical Uses of Turmeric

Turmeric has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, particularly in India and China. It has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, skin conditions, and inflammation.

In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric has been used to treat digestive disorders, liver problems, and skin diseases. It has also been used to help treat inflammation, arthritis, and diabetes. In Chinese traditional medicine, turmeric has been used to help improve circulation, treat digestive issues, and reduce pain.

In addition to its medicinal uses, turmeric has also been used as a dye for textiles and as a culinary spice in many different cuisines around the world.

Why Turmeric?

Ayurvedic medicine has used turmeric for thousands of years to treat breathing problems, joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, and more.

Researchers have shared evidence that turmeric may boost energy levels, improve joints and boost flexibility and mobility. Turmeric is a potent antioxidant with anticancer and antimicrobial effects.

In some instances, doctors proscribe turmeric to patients for these healing benefits.

Why Choose Fiji Joe Turmeric?

High levels of heavy metals often contaminate turmeric roots.

This is coming when farmed.

When grown in polluted areas, turmeric roots can absorb and concentrate heavy metals, copper, arsenic, and lead in their roots.

As turmeric continues to trend for its health benefits, the quality of turmeric becomes problematic, with more farmers wanting to cash in.

Some market turmeric spiked with lead chromate, which boosts the bright orange color.

As scientists work with turmeric farmers to create better farming practices and prevent turmeric from concentrating heavy metals, opting for Fiji Joe Turmeric is, in our opinion, a great way to safely attain the benefits of turmeric.

Fiji Joe Turmeric goes directly from harvest to their private processing facility, where the roots are sorted by hand, then washed, sliced, and dried.

Their turmeric is clinically tested, sourced from local villages, and 100% certified organic.

What Are The Benefits of Golden Milk?

Turmeric is the star of this beverage; however, the other spices (Ginger and Cinnamon) are also powerhouses in benefits!

Golden milk is a traditional Indian drink made by combining turmeric with warm milk, honey, and spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom.

Some of the benefits of golden milk are:

  1. Anti-inflammatory properties: Turmeric, the main ingredient in golden milk, contains curcumin, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Drinking golden milk regularly may help to reduce inflammation in the body.
  2. Improved digestion: The spices in golden milk can help to improve digestion and alleviate digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and constipation.
  3. Better immune system function: The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric and other spices in golden milk can help to support a healthy immune system.
  4. Enhanced brain function: Some studies suggest that curcumin may help to improve brain function and reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
  5. Reduced risk of chronic diseases: Turmeric has been shown to have protective effects against chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Overall, golden milk can be a nutritious and delicious way to enjoy the health benefits of turmeric and other spices.

Pairing Turmeric With Black Pepper

Adding a dash of black pepper is recommended (skip this if you have stomach issues) or pineapple, which has the enzyme bromelain.

Black pepper is often paired with turmeric in golden milk due to the presence of a compound called piperine. Piperine is known to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, by up to 2000%. This means that adding black pepper to turmeric can increase the absorption and effectiveness of its health benefits. Without black pepper, the body would not be able to fully absorb and utilize the curcumin in turmeric. Therefore, black pepper is a crucial ingredient in golden milk to maximize the health benefits of turmeric.

How to Make Golden Milk

Coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk is my preference when making “Golden Milk.”

I find these create a creamy base.

You can use fresh turmeric, but I find Fiji Joe’s turmeric powder to be delicious in flavor and more simple to make.

If opting for coconut milk, opt for one with some fat content to help the absorption of turmeric.

Opt for locally sourced honey, pure maple syrup, or Stevia to add a little sweetness.

A cup of “Golden Milk” at night is so comforting, subtly sweet, slightly spicy, creamy, and offers the benefits of turmeric and ginger.

How to Make Golden Milk Latte

Over medium heat, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
Now, whisk the mixture frequently for four minutes. Milk should be hot but not boiling.
Finally, Turn off the heat and Serve immediately.
It is best when fresh; however, it can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until hot.

How Do I Store Leftover Golden Milk?

Golden milk can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s important to give it a good stir or shake before drinking, as the spices may settle at the bottom. You may need to gently reheat the golden milk before drinking if it has been stored in the refrigerator, but be careful not to overheat it, as high heat can damage the nutrients in the milk.
